“I want to do what’s best for the Democratic Party,” Silver said. “I want to elect members of Congress, members of the Assembly, Democratic members of the Senate, and I want the strongest ticket possible out there in order to do that.”

“I’m really referring to, let’s see where the parties are after this legislative session has gone down the road and who’s the strongest candidate,” he continued. “I’m saying June because I think then you form a ticket. Yes, there are conventions, and by then you’ll have a better snapshot of what directions various candidates’ popularities are going.”
